Maturity is not an age or an emotion, it's a state of mind. Your state of mind is questionable. You would dare to limit my kids availability of the best tool for the job, based on their age?

Shameful elitist.

I beg your pardon! I resent that your accusation of setting age limits for certain activities is "Elitist". Where do you live? Does your state permit 10 year olds to drive alone on public highways? Would you your 10yr. old to drive your truck on the highway?

On your sons 16th. birthday would you just hand him the keys to a new Corvette with a case of "Jack Daniels" in the trunk? Of course not. Why don't we just let 15yr. olds vote?

Age limitations are used extensively in public law and in our own family "private law", as in; "I wouldn't let your 18 year old son date my 15 yr. old daughter". Do you have a problem with that? It's not new and it's not elitist.

What you allow your "kids" to do or have is your own business. What really does bother me is we have a lot of adults with very low levels of emotional maturity that are affecting my enjoyment of lawful and Constitutionally protected activities.

If you have a problem with that, get over it, because that's my opinion.
